[Q] SGH-I337M No Sound Or Wifi

**EDIT**
This issue was solved for myself and another member here by tracking down the appropriate latest stock firmware for our regions and flashing it with Odin. Note that it took multiple flashes of the same firmware in Odin before it was actually fixed.
**Original Post**
Hi All,
I have a SGH-I337M from Rogers (Canada) and I'm having a hell of a time getting my phone working again. Here's the complete history. I originally took it from stock 4.2.2 to 4.4 Gummy ROM. Everything was working fine with that. I then found out about the easy sim unlock with the stock touchwiz ROM, so I plugged it into Kies to restore it to factory. However, I didn't realize (about a week ago) that they were rolling out the 4.3 update, so lo and behold I wound up with 4.3.
The unlock method was not working on this, so I got hold of the 4.2.2 official ROM and flashed it with Odin. It was at this time that I realized the 4.3 update included the knox bootloader (I think that's the bootloader? I'm still pretty green with this stuff), so of course I wind up with persisting flags showing warranty void, kernel is not seapermissive or whatever the error is, etc etc. ALSO, it was at the time of the 4.3 update that I realized wifi and sound do not work anymore. I flashed back to the Gummy rom, wifi starts working again but not sound.
PHEW, if you made it through that, thanks for your time! Anyway I'm now back at 4.2.2 because I figured I'd try the unlocking at least and... it doesn't work. I read from others that the wifi and sound not working had to do with the modem firmware not matching what the kernel expects, so I took my wifes phone (which is still running 4.2.2 and the unlock worked, also a SGH-I337M), ran the following:
Code:
su
cd mnt/sdcard/
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=backup-NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=backup-modem.bin
Copied those dumps, wrote them to my busted phone with:
Code:
su
dd if=NON-HLOS.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=modem.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
And.... all that to no avail. I'm literally just fumbling through this now because this stuff is going beyond the scope of what I know. Anyone who can help or point me in the right direction would be most appreciated! Thanks for your time!

Fixed
Alright so, as I mentioned the official rogers 4.3 update over Kies is what I believe caused these problems in the first place. What I did however was get hold of the latest official build from this link (RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040) and flash it in Odin. Oddly enough after the flash, all is working. Perhaps there is a broken version being pushed out over Kies.

Buddy! You're having the exact same problems I had. Can you tell me what carrier you are with and post your exact model here (like mine is SGH-i337M). The solution for me was to end up flashing (for the 4th or 5th time) the original stock touchwiz from branded by my carrier. The kernel warnings and such all went away, all sound and wifi works again (see my above posts). You might also be able to just flash the modem file for your phone, the CM version. Anyway post that stuff (exact model, carrier etc) and I'll see if I can help!

Here ya go buddy, found it on terafile. Click this link here. ProTip! Use Bitcomet to do the HTTP download (copy the link once it starts downloading) and set the max connections to 20. This way you'll bypass the download throttle and download at full speed. Follow up and let me know if it works out for you!
In case you don't know, extract the zip, open Odin, click "PDA" and select the .md5 file you extracted. Put your phone into download mode by powering off and then powering on while holding the volume down rocker. It'll ask you to press volume up to confirm. Plug the phone in now and Odin will recognize the phone is ready for flashing (will say added! in the text field). Go ahead and click start. Note that this is a very big file so after you select it in Odin it will freeze for a while while it calculates the MD5 sum.

You can't flash it through recovery you have to use Odin and yes 3.09 should work fine. Make sure you extract the zip first and select the .md5 file that gets extracted from the zip. ALSO note that this will replace your custom recovery. I have not yet attempted to replace the stock recovery after flashing and fixing my phone, so I cannot tell you if it will work or not. At this point I'm just happy to have my phone working again so I'm not tampering and leaving it at stock. Also note that once you flash 4.3 the boot loader will be replaced so that if you tamper with the phone (flash anything new etc) it will permanently set a flag that you cannot change which indicates that your warranty is now void.

Stock Kernel Fix It but ....
Hello Furinax, i download and flash the original ROM with Odin v3.09, the stock Kernel fix it, but the Wifi and the sound still tethering, don´t work both of them, do you recommend flashing again? Or what can i do? Thanks and we keep in contact.

Yay! Glad to hear it. Just gotta watch and read lots before flashing custom roms. Some phones are a pain in the rear, some are fine. Usually stick to flagship phones for this. For example the Nexus series from Google, never had an issue flashing any of those phones. Anyway buddy I'm glad to hear it's all working, merry Christmas and happy new year to you too and God bless you as well. Take care!

I am going through this right now as we speak. I bought a S4 I337M tonight locked to Telus and am trying to unlock it for bell.....it was on 4.3 so yeah I tripped the knox bootloader which is ok because I do not have warranty on the phone BUT I installed 4.2.2 and tried the unlocking and of course it does not seem possible on the Telus i337m .....I followed all suggestions to a T so we must have to pay for codes....
Anyways I lost wifi and sound so i used odin to push back telus factory firmware mk6 and still have no wifi and sound ? Any ideas?
I am currently using odin and pushing it once again , fingers crossed
Any tips on both the unlocking and regaining sound and wifi ? thanks

Hey. So a couple of things. First, if you did the unlock process with the 4.2.2 rom, you unfortunately have to re flash the 4.2.2 rom and this time in the menu turn sim lock back on. Then, you can proceed to flash 4.3.3 and buy an unlock code. The reason you have to re flash and explicitly re - enable sim lock using the 4.2.2 menu is that once it fails, if you don't do that then even your purchased unlock code won't work!
So make sure you do that. I believe it's #*0101 then hit menu key, select back. Hit menu again, select number input, enter 1. Get the ddms main menu or whatever it's called where you can see network lock options and then select on instead of off. There is actually a video on YouTube of this exact issue and fix, I've just been moving for 4 days and am beat so if you get really stuck here I can find it tomorrow.
Once you do that re flash 4.3.3 with Odin but before you do, enter recover mode and wipe/factory reset/cache everything and of course ensure you are backed up first.
It has been my experience and others experience that you may need to re flash 4.3.3 multiple times before the wifi and other issues will be fixed. Don't panic, it'll work. Once you've got that all sorted, I bought my unlock codes (did this painful process on three sgh-1337m's) from cellunlocker.net and all went perfect. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Thanks! took 3 times to get back wifi and sound.....so odd.
I am now flashing 4.2 again and i will change the settings you mentioned back to locked than clear cache/factory wipe before going back to 4.3 and ordering my unlock code online....I dont understand why it works for some and not [email protected]!!!

Glad you got sound/wifi back! As far as why it sometimes works, phone had to be shipped with 4.2.2. Once they get upgraded to 4.3, the functionality is gone for reasons I'm not 100% on so I won't shoot my mouth off like I'm an expert. Lol enjoy your unlocked phone once you get it all sorted!

After the second flashing works, be patient

CWM Recovery NOT flashing with G900K Korean

I'm currently stationed in South Korea and recently picked up an SM-G900K, which I was able to root and unlock SuperSU and permissions and everything, but I cannot get into the actual clockwork recovery when I reboot. It just keeps going back to the Downloading... screen, except in Korean language. I have tried PhilZ Touch, and regular CWM. When I attempt to boot to Recovery, it just goes right back to Download Mode. Any ideas? Also is it possible to flash to get rid of ANY Korean language? Thanks

Well, I found a recovery that actually worked on the phone: g900k-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0422).tar but when I tried to flash Phoenix ROM, it just booted directly into Download Mode again and I couldn't find a way to boot to the new ROM. I'm back to my backup. Any suggestions?

Have you tried TWRP ? I also had trouble recently getting back into recovery, try removing the battery and trying several times ( 5-6 times ) , in the end mine booted into recovery .

Hi, sorry to ask this in your thread but how did you guys root your device? With which root file? I've looked at the chainfire website and they only list the Korean model for L and S rooted but not for K. So wondering if you guys used those files to root the device? Do you happen to also know if rooting the device will allow us to change the voicemail number? The default now is *88 and I can't for the life of me get it changed to a number I can use in the US.

Hello..I am trying to root Sm-G900K but failed to find the CF for that model. Can you help?

Try holding 'up' & 'home', while holding, press and hold power. As soon as the S5 comes on the screen let go of the power button. It should jump in recovery. Holding 'down' 'home' & 'power' get the download menu. As far as changing the language on the download screen, there is no way to change it without changing bootloaders and we don't want to brick our phones so we are stuck with it.

The only recovery that works on this model is the version g900k-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0422) by XiaoLu. Get that copy and you should be able to have a custom recovery.
So for simplicity:
1) Flash g900k-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.8-en(0422).tar using odin 3.09.
2) Boot to recovery and install zip SphinX_Root(ChoiMobile.VN)_G900K-5.0.zip
3) install zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip
4) Reboot.
Do note that the above example works on lollipop. I didn't have problems rooting the G900K in kitkat but you do need to do a wipe cache/dalvik vm/factory restore.

A known issue I discovered is that SuperSU sort of loses it's root powers at random moments. To fix this you only need to shutdown/startup the phone.

Sorry for the late reply, I rarely get on here. I went back to official firmware for awhile, but not looking to root the phone again.
I have been able to flash CWM, install the root file and SuperSU file, but the phone refuses to boot up afterwards.

N910G won't boot into Android [Help!]

I am using the Note 4 N910G variant. I have rooted using CF Autoroot(5.0.1) and flashed CWM Recovery. I have also tried TWRP.
For some reason, I can't boot into Emotion Revolution ROM and most of the other ROMs would give me errors such as can't open file during installation.
I am seeing messages such as Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit: kernel.
I have rooted and flashed ROMs before without a hitch many times. This is the first time I am coming across such problems. Forgive me for my ignorance I'll try my best to provide any extra information that is required to fix this issue.
Help would be greatly appreciated

Erm..anyone? I desperately need help fixing this!

Thanks for the response by the way. Much appreciated I used CF AutoRoot and rooted my phone with Odin V3.07. Pretty much followed the steps here
http://galaxynote4root.com/galaxy-note-4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-4/
My phone worked just fine after the root. I went on to flash a custom recovery. (TWRP) and it went without a hitch. After which, I wiped my phone and flashed a custom ROM (Without backing up which was foolish, I know..)
http://www.emo-troid.com/tw-rom-downloads.html
Now, everytime I try to boot my phone, I would just get stuck in a bootloop. I can boot into recovery and download mode just fine for now.

Still stuck in a bootloop with a yellow text at the top left corner saying set warranty unit: kernel. I've just flashed the same ROM I have linked earlier...

Oh it does, it shows me the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Powered by Android text along with that tiny yellow text in the top left. It would constantly reboot into that screen, doesn't go beyond that.

Did you wipe data/cache/dalvik/system before flashing the ROM?
If not, please try it. If yes and still bootloop try to download and flash a different ROM like this one.
Let us know.

Alright. Apparently I can't use adb push for my CWM recovery. Any other way?
Edit: I have resolved the matter with the ABD push., had to simply replug my phone.
My phone booted up but is still in the Samsung animation. It got pass the Powered by Android galaxy Note 4 screen at least.

MY PHONE ****ING BOOTED INTO ANDROID. Thank you so much dude You have helped a stranger across the planet save 800 dollars, you're amazing

I'm happy that you fixed the problems with your note 4!
Enjoy your "reborn" phone!

The recovery you provided works just fine! There was no issue booting up the phone, i havn't tried to flash a zip file with it yet, but i think it will work.
Other options like terminal and adb open up correctly on the local machine, and there is no reason for them to give issues when actually used for side loading and command input.
I have a recovery.log file if needed.
Thanks a lot, that was the first recovery for Galaxy A8 Sm-A800i.
I request @cheupe to move the post to the top and change the status to solved. All credits to @ashyx for successfully compiling the recovery.
Note - Flashing this recovery, or anything other than stock, might make your wifi to stop remembering passwords on reboot. (Only if you have flashed a custom boot.img /kernel). Flashing only the recovery without other modifications should theoretically not cause the issue.
Solution-
Open up system/build.prop, find "ro.securestorage.support=true" and change the "true" to "false" and reboot. Enter your wifi passwords once again and it should be permanant even after reboot.

Thanks for the feedback, glad it works. Now you guys have the door open for custom roms and root. I will officially release this to XDA if you are happy everything is working.
Regarding your note on the wifi, Recovery shouldn't affect the wifi. Custom kernels that dont have the "ro.securestorage.support=false" set usually have this issue. However that can be fixed.
Did you have an issue with wifi as that is a new one on me with custom recovery?

The wifi problem occurs everytime i flash something that is not stock. Flashing a custom boot.img for root caused the issue. It was fixed with tweaking the build.prop.
Now everytime i flash anything, be it boot or recovery via odin, i have to tweak the build file. The only exception to this is flashing the stock firmwhere.

Well as the issue was probably caused by the modified boot.img, its gonna occur only for those who have rooted their phones using that particular method. I am pretty sure flashing just the recovery you provided will not cause the issue. The note was for who are here after rooting. I still dont get it why the build file changes when i flashed the recovery, even though i had tweaked it and not touched the kernel after that. I dont understand the reason for it to change back to true after flashing something such as a recovery.

Strange I've never heard of that before, I don't see how flashing a custom recovery affects the build.prop they are totally unrelated? Ah well stranger things have happened. :silly:

I concur. Thats strange to say at the least. Why would flashing something after flashing a custom kernel change the build.prop. I guess, somethings are just the way they are :angel:

What did you flash?
You can recover by flashing stock firmware.
NOTE: One of the main reasons for flashing custom recovery is to make a full backup of your device.
ALWAYS ensure this is done BEFORE flashing custom stuff.

Try flashing the corresponding uninstall x64 zip. It will reverse all the steps that the install did. Good luck.

Much appreciated your help

SM-G925F Flashing and bootloader issue

Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Tried flashing the G925F with the latest firmware, but the phone is stuff on the boot logo and wont move past it.
I can ONLY access download mode, recovery mode is unavailable. I've looked for a bootloader but theres so many versions all over the place and I dont want to pick the wrong one.
G925FXXU6ERF5 is the phone with the following details:
UK XEU CSC running Android 7.0 (well supposed to be lol)
The amount of threads I've gone through end up with the end of having users PM'ing each other for the answer or 'search for the answer'
So any help would be grateful.

OK, got some progress. After reading a similar issue I followed a guide on installing TWRP recovery and was finally able to boot into some kind of recovery mode. Now I'm just stuck with what to do hahaha. Its just strange that when I flash with Odin with the official firmware in the AP, I cant access the recovery mode, but flashing with TWRP the their recovery mode works perfectly.

Update, after a lot of searching on youtube and forums etc, was able to find out the data section was read as 0MB so wiped the storage via change the format of the storage then changing it back. This was able to make the data storage read correctly.
Installed the correct firmware which I had tried before, but this time the phone went through the update and was able to go through a full set up.
Just typing out this info for anyone else having the same issues.

After I got it working it did a bunch of updates but then stopped working.. back with the boot loop and failing to get to normal recovery. Only twrp works perfectly. If yours works only with usb attached I'd say it could be the battery or something linked to the battery.
